Testo aggiuntivo

’A fascinating study of how the Swedish Social Democratic Party abruptly changed course on Europe and how its foot-soldiers often failed to get into line. The analysis is of high quality throughout and represents a major addition to our knowledge of Swedish politics, the problems of adaptation to the European Union, and of crises of internal party democracy. It can be strongly recommended to specialist and non-specialist alike.’ Professor Kevin Featherstone, University of Bradford, UK ’...brings together established views and new ideas in contemporary European studies and is aimed at both the student and the professional wishing to keep up with European developments.’ European Access ’...a welcome work.’ Journal of European Integration History
